Ashridge House Open Gardens

 

On Sunday Ashridge House had opened it's gardens for the National Garden Scheme. I had been once before (see long post 11th June 2018) when Alison was off on a 26 mile event. So this was all new for her, and for me at a completely different time of year. So lots of daffodils and spring plants. Most dramatic of all were the rhododendrons. 

The weather could not have been better, mainly sunny with some light cloud and 19C. The Grade II gardens were designed by Humphry Repton in the eighteenth century and are 190 acres. It took us two hours to see everything. It was good they gave us a map.
